There are some hints in this document, I think. Let me show you all the strange bits I notice. You may notice others.

Our thanks go to Steve Martin for tackling the text on this 57-page PDF. It wasn't until I read it as text that I noticed some of the items I am going to highlight, so that alone shows me the value of doing everything that we can as text. So thank you, Steve.

You will note that there are a number of typos in the original PDF, more than usual. For example, in the opening WHEREFORE section, at the end it uses the word 'premises' where it should be 'promises'. Probably it's reflective of the way the agreement was pulled together -- at the hearing about it on November 6, one lawyer for SCO was still working on it as they spoke, and they said they'd been working on it day and night for days. So it was a rush job, trying to get it ready for the hearing, and with a lot of sleepless nights where teams of lawyers worked through the night, and all for nothing in the end. Or is it?

I notice something that might not strike you, unless you are a paralegal too and have typed up contracts like this. The buyer is identified only like this:

[________], a Delaware [________] ("Purchaser")

So the document doesn't reveal who the proposed buyer was or whether it's a regular corporation or an LLC or whatever, but yet 'Delaware' is typed in as the state in which it was registered. I find that very odd. If you were trying to hide the entity buying the assets, and they were, you'd leave it *all* blank. So, from my experience, I suspect that they intended to set up an entity in Delaware, but never got that far before they withdrew the motion, and they hadn't decided yet what form it would be registered as. Either that or they simply goofed and included it by mistake, being sleep-deprived.

Not that they intended us to know who it was, I don't think. The definition of contract is unusual too -- this agreement defines it as any written or oral agreement. I can't tell you how strange that is. Usually lawyers want to avoid oral agreements and deliberately exclude them. What might it mean?

I think it means there is one, some oral agreement between SCO and someone, maybe with the money behind this, whoever that is, or whoever was trying to buy all the assets, if there is a distinction. It brought to my mind the breach of contract litigation Novell brought against Canopy, the Canopy before Ralph Yarro was forced out, that we learned about in 2004, where Canopy claimed there was an oral agreement that Canopy would sue Microsoft on Novell's behalf, and that they didn't put that in writing because Ray Noorda didn't want Microsoft to know about it. Novell denied it, and Canopy lost on the money part of the case, but the court did find that there had been an agreement. Is it impossible to believe that Yarro has done something like that again, only this time he's smart enough to require that oral agreements be recognized? You will note in Article IV there is a confidentiality agreement referenced, and it "shall survive any termination" of the agreement. So if there is any oral agreement, no one is supposed to tell, I'm guessing.

And here's the final odd note: the buyer was to take over SCO's leases, according to "Article 4.2. Deliveries by Sellers". This raises the obvious question: where was SCO going to be? Where would Darl McBride be when he went to his office to work on Me Inc.? They did tell us that Me Inc. would continue. You may recall that York's lawyer represented to the court that its client just liked to buy up old software. But why, then, would it need the leases? You don't need a particular building to house software or to license it or even to write it. Not even to sue over it. So what exactly was the real plan of "reorganization"?

And finally, some of the assets that were to be sold, the agreement says in "Section 2.5. Certain Subsidiaries", are owned by foreign subsidiaries. Which assets? The foreign subsidiaries are not in bankruptcy, so how does that work? We can only guess, because the schedules referenced throughout this APA are not attached.

The definitions section is fascinating too, particularly the definition of "Affiliate":

"Affiliate" means, with respect to any specified Person at any time, (a) each Person,
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under direct or indirect common control with, such
specified Person at such time, (b) each Person who is at such time an officer or director of, or direct
or indirect beneficial holder of at least 20% of any class of the equity interests of, such specified
person, (c) each Person that is managed by a common group of executive officers and/or directors as
such specified Person, (d) the members of the immediate family (i) of each officer, director or holder
described in clause (b) and (ii) if such specified Person is an individual, of such specified Person, and
(e) each Person of which such specified Person or an Affiliate (as defined in clauses (a) through (d)) thereof will, directly or indirectly, beneficially own at least 20% of any class of equity interests at such time.

What is this talking about? Family members? Why are they included? It's the kind of wording that is clearly carving in someone very specific. Who? There is a lot SCO has not yet told us.

Purchaser pursuant to the Sale Order, which Sellers shall identify and Purchaser shall designate in

11 (13)

writing and attach hereto prior to Closing as Schedule 2.1(b) as Contracts to be assumed by
Purchaser ("Assumed Contracts");

(c) All right, title and interest of Sellers in and to Company Technology;

(d) All rights of Sellers in and to general intangibles;

(e) All rights of Seller in and to (i) the customer and client lists, vendor lists,
catalogues, data relating to vendors, promotion lists and marketing data and other compilations of
names and requirements; (ii) telephone numbers, internet addresses and web sites; and (iii) other
material information related to the Business;

(f) All Inventory of Sellers, including, but not limited to, the Inventory set forth
on Schedule 2(f) to be created and attached hereto by Sellers prior to Closing;

(g) All accounts, accounts receivable, notes receivable, chattel paper, documents,
and all other receivables of any type or nature of Sellers;

(h) The Linux Litigation;

(i) To the extent provided in Section 2.5, the Equity Interests owned by SCO
Group or any of the Subsidiaries in and to SCO Operations and the Subsidiaries involved in the
Business or any other investments or ventures identified in Schedule 2.1(i);

(j) All goodwill associated with the Sellers' and their business and the Purchased
Assets;

(k) All rights in and to any governmental and other Permits, to the extent
assignable, used in or relating to the Business or the Purchased Assets;

(1) An irrevocable, assignable, twenty percent (20%) interest (the "Percentage
Interest") in any and all proceeds of any judgment, settlement or assignment (by operation of law or
otherwise) for equity, compromise or other consideration to Sellers and their Affiliates and/or their
successors or assigns (each, "Proceeds"), if any, when and as collected by Sellers and their Affiliates
(and/or such successors and assigns) from, in connection with, or in respect of, any Action (including
but not limited to the Novell Litigation and the IBM Litigation), regardless of whether or not such
Proceeds result from Actions funded by the Litigation Credit Facility, it being understood that there
is no assurance that any Proceeds will result from the Novell Litigation, the IBM Litigation or any
other Action. The total payments to Purchaser under this Section 2.1(1) shall not exceed One
Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) (the "Cap"). The 20% Percentage Interest in Proceeds, up
to a maximum of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) as described above, assumes, and is
conditioned upon, Purchaser electing to establish the Commitment Amount as defined in the
Litigation Credit Facility at Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000). If Purchaser elects to establish the
Commitment Amount at Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) instead of Ten Milion Dollars
($10,000,000), as is contemplated in the Litigation Credit Facility, then, in such event, Purchaser's
Percentage Interest for purposes of this Section 2.1(1) shall be ten percent (10%), and the Cap shall be
Fifty Million Dollars ($50,000,000). Purchaser's interest in Proceeds is junior to full payment of all
attorneys' and other professionals' fees and costs (including contingency fees) incurred in the related
Action, and amounts outstanding under the Litigation Credit Facility. The Parties intend,

12 (14)

acknowledge and agree that the interest in Proceeds purchased by Purchaser under this Section 2.1(l)
will be a present transfer at Closing of a property interest for which no further action of the Parties is
required to effect assignment. The Parties will take such actions and execute such agreements as
may be required to confirm the foregoing arrangements. The Purchaser may not assign, sell,
hypothecate or otherwise transfer its interest in the Proceeds without the consent of the Sellers, not to
be unreasonably withheld; and

(m) All Assets set forth on Schedule 2.1(m).

2.2. Excluded Assets. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to sell, transfer, assign or
convey the Excluded Assets to Purchaser, and Sellers shall retain all right, title and interest to, in and
under the Excluded Assets. "Excluded Assets" shall mean the following Assets of Sellers:

(a) All Me Inc. Products and the furniture and personal property used solely in
connection with the Me Inc. Products to be identified as used therefor on Schedule 2.1(a);

(b) All cash, cash deposits and cash equivalents held by Sellers at the time of the
Closing (and interest or earnings thereon);

(d) SCO Group's Equity Interests in its Subsidiaries (except for the Subsidiaries
identified in Schedule 2.5);

(e) The Novell Litigation, the IBM Litigation and all other Actions other than the
Linux Litigation first arising or accrued prior to the Closing (except as set forth in clause (1) of
Section 2.1 above);

(g) All Assets not assignable or transferable under applicable Laws;

(h) Any (i) confidential personnel and medical records pertaining to any
Employees not set forth on Schedule 5.22; (ii) other books and records relating solely to the Me Inc.
Products or that Sellers are required by Law to retain or that Sellers determine are necessary or
advisable to retain including, without limitation, Tax returns, financial statements, and corporate or
other entity filings; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have, to the extent allowed by applicable
Law, the right to make copies of any portions of such retained books and records that relate to the
Business or any of the Purchased Assets; (iii) information management systems of Sellers, other than
those used or useful in the conduct of the Business; (iv) minute books, stock or membership interest
records and corporate seals; and (v) documents relating to proposals to acquire Assets or Equity
Interests by Persons other than Purchaser;

(i) All Sellers' rights under this Agreement;

(j) All Actions of Sellers arising under Bankruptcy Code Sections 506, 544-553,
inclusive, or otherwise against any third party and that do not relate to or arise from any of the
Purchased Assets; and

13 (15)

(k) All Assets set forth on Schedule 2.2(k), which schedule may be amended by
Purchaser so as to exclude additional Assets in its discretion from time to time until one (1) Business
Day prior to the Closing Date (provided however, no such exclusions (other than of any accounts
receivable or any assets of any of the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 2.5) shall result in any Purchase
Price adjustment).

2.3. Assumed Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement, at the Closing, Purchaser shall assume the following, and only the following, Liabilities
of Sellers (the "Assumed Liabilities"):

(a) All Liabilities specifically set forth in Schedule 2.3(a) (including but not
limited to those arising from the Prohibited Transactions listed in Sections 8.2(b)(v) through and
including 8.2(b)(xi)), to be created by Purchaser and attached hereto by no later than one (1)
Business Day prior to Closing;

(b) All executory obligations under the Assumed Contracts first arising after the
Closing and not as a result of or relating to any action or inaction taken by any Seller or any Affiliate
thereof, including any breach of covenant or agreement under this Agreement thereby; and

(c) All amounts payable under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code to cure
monetary defaults under the Assumed Contracts (the "Cure Amount"); provided that the sum of the
Cure Amount plus the amount of Assumed Liabilities shall not exceed the Cash Component, as
reduced pursuant to Section 3.1(a).

2.4. Excluded Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
except for the Assumed Liabilities specifically described in Section 2.3 (it being understood that if a
Liability could be construed to be described in both Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, then it shall be
deemed an Excluded Liability), Purchaser shall not assume, be liable for, or have responsibility with
respect to, and shall be deemed not to have assumed, be liable for, or have any responsibility with
respect to, any of the Liabilities of the Sellers, whether known or unknown, absolute or contingent,
accrued or unaccrued, due or to become due (collectively, the "Excluded Liabilities"), which
Excluded Liabilities include:

(a) All Liabilities arising out of or relating to Excluded Assets, including
Liabilities first arising or accruing prior to Closing under Assumed Contracts other than Cure
Amounts;

(b) Any Contracts of the Subsidiaries (other than the Sellers and those
Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 2.5) and all Liabilities arising thereunder;

(c) Except as provided in Article IX, all Liabilities with respect to all employee

employees or independent contractors or former employees or independent contractors of any of the
Sellers, including any severance obligations that arise on or prior to the Closing Date;

14 (16)

(d) All Liabilities for (i) Taxes of Sellers (including all Liabilities for Taxes
relating to the Purchased Assets) for any Tax periods (or portions thereof) ending on or before the
Closing Date and (ii) Transfer Taxes;

(e) All Liabilities incurred in the Ordinary Course of Business and existing prior

(k) All other Liabilities, accrued expenses or accounts payable of Sellers arising
from or associated with the Business or the Purchased Assets arising from events, facts or
circumstances occurring before the Closing, except to the extent expressly identified as an Assumed
Liability.

2.5. Certain Subsidiaries. The parties acknowledge that a portion of the Purchased Assets
are presently owned and/or held by the foreign Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 2.5. At the Closing,
the Sellers shall transfer to the Purchaser all of the Purchased Assets held by those Subsidiaries. In
the event that the parties reasonably determine that the Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 2.5 cannot
transfer assets in order to comply with Sellers' obligations hereunder, or that such transfer would be
unduly burdensome, Purchaser may, in addition to its other rights under this Agreement, elect at any
time prior to Closing to have the Sellers transfer to Purchaser all equity and other interests in those
Subsidiaries. In the event of such election and transfer, the Purchase Price payable under Section 3.1
shall also be appropriately adjusted upward or downward to reflect the difference between (i) any
cash and cash equivalents (giving effect to any tax consequences, restrictions or other limitations on
the use or distribution of that cash at Closing to a US corporate parent) held by a Subsidiary so
transferred, and (ii) any Liabilities ofthat Subsidiary.

ARTICLE III

CONSIDERATION

3.1. Purchase Price. The total purchase price for the Purchased Assets consists of both
cash and non-cash components in the estimated aggregate amount of up to Thirty Six Million Dollars
($36,000,000) (the "Purchase Price"), as set forth below:

15 (17)

(a) A cash payment of up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the "Cash
Component"), which shall be reduced, dollar for dollar, in an amount equal to the book value at
Closing of all Assumed Liabilities as of Closing and all Cure Amounts and decreased dollar for
dollar based on the difference, if any, between accounts receivable to be transferred to Purchaser and
Qualifying Accounts Receivable at Closing, as reasonably determined by Purchaser. Ten (10) days
prior to Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser an accounts receivable run in Microsoft Excel
format. At Closing, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers a statement indicating Qualified Accounts
Receivable.

(b) Up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the form of a litigation credit
facility (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) to fund litigation expenses (the
"Litigation Credit Facility").

(c) Up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the form of a 20% interest in any
and all net Proceeds (as defined in Section 2.1(l)) which are realized by Purchaser and which will be
paid to Sellers (after deducting the Purchaser's related fees and expenses and a preferred return on
such fees and expenses paid by Purchaser at the prime rate, as reported from time to time by The
Wall Street Journal, compounded semi-annually), if any, when and as collected by Purchaser, from
or in connection with any Linux Litigation, it being understood that there is no assurance that any
proceeds will result from any Linux Litigation. The Parties intend that Sellers' interest in the
Proceeds under this Section 3.1(c) will be a present and vested assignment at Closing for which no
further action of the Parties is required; provided that the Parties will take such actions and execute
such agreements as may be required to confirm the foregoing arrangements. The Sellers may not
assign, sell, hypothecate or otherwise transfer their interest under this Section 3.1(c) without the
consent of the Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Up to Six Million Dollars ($6,000,000) as provided pursuant to the terms of
the Cross License Agreement.

3.2. Purchase Price Deposit. Pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser has
deposited on October 25, 2007 with Berger Singerman, P.A., in its capacity as escrow agent (the
"Escrow Agent"), One Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,800,000) by wire transfer of
immediately available funds (the "Escrowed Funds"), into an interest-bearing account, to be released
by the Escrow Agent and delivered to either Purchaser or Sellers, in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement. Pursuant to this Agreement, the Escrowed Funds (together with all accrued
investment income or interest thereon) shall be distributed as follows:

(a) if the Closing occurs, the Escrowed Funds shall be applied towards the Cash
Component payable by Purchaser to Sellers under Section 3.3 hereof, and all accrued investment
income or interest thereon shall be delivered to Purchaser at the Closing;

(b) if this Agreement is terminated by Sellers due to a breach by Purchaser
pursuant to Section 4.4(e), the Escrowed Funds shall be released to Sellers and all accrued
investment income or interest thereon or any remainder, shall be returned to Purchaser;

(c) if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than default by Purchaser
pursuant to Section 4.4(e), the Escrowed Funds, together with all accrued investment income or
interest thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser.

16 (18)

(d) The Escrow Agent represents the Sellers herein, and shall be entitled to
continue to do so, including in connection with any interpleader proceeding relating to the Escrow
Funds. The Escrow Agent, in its capacity as such, shall act in accordance with the terms set forth in
Schedule 3.2 attached hereto.

3.3. Cash Component Availability. Consistent with Section 6.6, in connection with the
filing of the Sales Order, Purchaser will demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Sellers and
the Bankruptcy Court, that sufficient cash is funded or irrevocably dedicated to Purchaser from a
creditworthy source to ensure that Purchaser is, as of the hearing on the Sales Order, prepared to
close and pay the Cash Component, as adjusted pursuant to this Article III, at Closing. The payment
of the Cash Component, as adjusted pursuant to this Article III, less the Escrowed Funds, shall be
made on the Closing Date by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated
by Sellers.

ARTICLE IV

as follows:

(a) by mutual written consent of Sellers and Purchaser;

(b) by Purchaser, if any of the conditions to the obligations of Purchaser set forth
in Sections 10.1 and 10.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment other than as a result of a breach
by Purchaser of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Purchaser
Document, and such condition is not waived by Purchaser;

(c) by Purchaser, if there shall be a breach by any Seller of any representation or
warranty, or any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Seller Document,

cannot be cured or has not been cured by the earlier of (i) seven (7) Business Days after the giving of
written notice by Purchaser to such Seller of such breach and (ii) the Termination Date;

Sellers of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Seller Document, and
such condition is not waived by Sellers;

(e) by Sellers, if there shall be a breach by Purchaser of any representation or

(h) by Purchaser if (i) the Bidding Procedures Order, in form and content
acceptable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion, is not entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or
before November 20, 2007, or (ii) the Sale Order, in form and content provided by Purchaser, is not
entered by the Bankruptcy Court on or before December 31, 2007; or

19 (21)

(i) by Purchaser or Sellers, if the Closing shall not have occurred by the close of
business on April 30, 2008 (the "Termination Date"); provided that, in the case of Sellers, any delay
was not caused by any Seller or its failure to comply with any provision of this Agreement.

4.5. Procedure Upon Termination. In the event of termination by Purchaser or Sellers, or
both, pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party
or Parties, and this Agreement shall terminate, and the purchase of the Purchased Assets hereunder
shall be abandoned, without further action by Purchaser or Sellers. If this Agreement is terminated
as provided herein each Party shall use reasonable efforts to destroy or redeliver all documents, work
papers and other material of any other Party relating to the transactions contemplated hereby,
whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the Party furnishing the same; provided
that, subject to the confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 4.6(g) below, no Party will be liable
for failing to destroy materials or make any such redelivery.

4.6. Effect of Termination: Break-Up Fee.

(a) In the event that this Agreement is validly terminated as provided herein, then
each of the Parties shall be relieved of its duties and obligations arising under this Agreement
effective on the date of such termination and such termination shall be without liability to Purchaser
or Sellers; provided, however, that the obligations of the parties set forth in this Section 4.6 and
Section 8.7 hereof shall survive any such termination and shall be enforceable hereunder.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated the Escrowed Funds shall be released to the
appropriate Party pursuant to Section 3.2 above and once Escrow Agent has delivered the Escrowed
Funds as provided in Section 3.2 above, Escrow Agent shall be released of all obligations hereunder
with respect to such Escrowed Funds.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than due to a breach by Purchaser
hereunder resulting in Sellers' termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(e), then
Purchaser shall within a reasonable time thereafter provide Seller with summary documentation
(redacted as appropriate for attorney-client privilege and work product issues) for all costs of
reviewing the Business and all fees and expenses, including attorney and other advisor's fees,
incurred in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and each other
agreement, document and instrument contemplated by this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby ("Fees and Expenses") of Purchaser, and promptly, but
no later than five (5) Business Days after its receipt of such documentation, Sellers shall reimburse
Purchaser for all such Fees and Expenses, not to exceed Four Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars
($480,000.00) in the aggregate. The foregoing reimbursement obligation shall be entitled to super-priority administrative expense treatment under Sections 364(c), 503(b) and 507(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code; and providedfurther that, in the event that, and only for so long as: (i) this Agreement is
terminated because a condition set forth in Section 10.3 has not been timely satisfied or waived, (ii)
the failure of such condition is not the result of a material breach by Sellers of this Agreement and
(iii) no Competing Bid or Alternative Transaction is consummated, Sellers' reimbursement
obligation hereunder shall not exceed Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000) in the aggregate.
The Sellers shall also pay One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) in respect of the Fees and
Expenses (the "Guaranteed Expense Reimbursement"). The Guaranteed Expense Reimbursement
shall be paid promptly following entry of the Bankruptcy Court Order approving the bidding

20 (22)

procedures contemplated by this Agreement, and shall be credited in reduction of any subsequent
payment in respect of the Fees and Expenses.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the
event that (i) this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than due to a breach by Purchaser
hereunder resulting in Sellers' termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4(e), and (ii)
Sellers consummate a Competing Bid or Alternative Transaction or (iii) Purchaser is not the
"Winning Bidder" at the Auction, then Purchaser will be paid in immediately available funds a fee
(the "Break-Up Fee") equal to Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000.00). The Break-Up Fee
shall be paid upon the consummation of the Competing Bid or Alternative Transaction, in lieu of any
Losses Purchaser may suffer, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, as Purchaser's sole and
exclusive remedy (in addition to Sellers' reimbursement obligation set forth in Section 4.6(c) above)
as a result of such a termination. The Break-Up Fee shall be entitled to super-priority administrative
expense treatment under Sections 364(c), 503(b) and 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(e) If this Agreement is terminated due to breach by Purchaser, Sellers shall be
entitled to receive the Escrowed Funds as liquidated damages and not as a penalty as Sellers' sole
and exclusive remedy as a result of such a termination.

(f) The Confidentiality Agreement shall survive any termination of this
Agreement and nothing in this Section 4.6 shall relieve Purchaser or Sellers of their respective
obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement.

8.9. Publicity. No Sellers nor Purchaser shall issue any press release or public
announcement concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without obtaining

required by applicable Law or by the Bankruptcy Court with respect to filings to be made with the
Bankruptcy Court in connection with this Agreement or by the applicable rules of any stock
exchange on which Purchaser or Sellers list securities, provided that the Party intending to make such
release shall use its reasonable efforts consistent with such applicable Law or Bankruptcy Court
requirement to consult with the other Party with respect to the text thereof.

8.10. Certain Consents. Sellers shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
prior to (or, if not obtained prior to, subsequent to) the Closing all Required Approvals and Required
Consents. Purchaser will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Seller in connection
with seeking and obtaining such Required Approvals and Required Consents.

8.11. Sublease and Subcontract. For a period of sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the

and leases set forth on Schedule 8.11 (the "Transition Agreements") and subcontract to Purchaser
during the Transition Period the provision of such utilities and other services reasonably necessary
and useful to conduct the Business as determined by Purchaser in its sole discretion (the
"Subcontracted Services"), in order to transition the Business and Purchased Assets to Purchaser.
Not less than six (6) Business Days before the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall provide a schedule
setting forth the Subcontract Services. Not more than three (3) Business Days after actually
receiving the such schedule, Sellers shall provide Purchaser with a schedule setting forth the
estimated costs that Sellers will likely accrue or incur under or on account of the Transition
Agreements and the Subcontracted Services during the Transition Period (the "Estimated Transition
Costs"). Purchaser shall be liable for and shall pay within thirty (30) Business Days of notice thereof
from Sellers or their agent, representative or designee any Actual Transition Costs. During the
Transition Period, Sellers shall not seek to reject or terminate any of the Transition Agreements or
the Subcontracted Services except to the extent that any such rejection or termination becomes
effective after the end of the Transition Period. During the Transition Period, Sellers shall, at the
expense and request of Purchaser and to the extent they continue as debtors in possession, object to
or challenge any motion or other attempt to reject, terminate, suspend or modify the Transition
Agreements or the Subcontracted Services except to the extent that any such rejection, termination,
suspension or modification becomes effective after the end of the Transition Period.

(including, without limitation, all court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) as the prevailing part
may incur in the pursuit or defense thereof.

13.2. Injunctive Relief. Damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for the breach of any
of the covenants, promises and agreements contained in this Agreement, and, accordingly, any Party

amended, supplemented or changed, and any provision hereof can be waived, only by written
instrument making specific reference to this Agreement signed by the Party against whom
enforcement of any such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver is sought. No action taken
pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of any
Party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Party taking such action of compliance with any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained herein. The waiver by any Party of a
breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing
waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any
Part to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

13.4. Parties in Interest. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer any rights or
remedies under or by reason of this Agreement on any Persons other than Sellers and Purchaser and
their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve or
discharge the obligations or liability of any third Persons to Sellers or Purchaser. No provision of this

JURY. THIS AGREEMENT, THE SELLER DOCUMENTS AND THE PURCHASER DOCUMENTS SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AND, TO
THE EXTENT NOT INCONSISTENT WITH THE BANKRUPTCY CODE, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK
APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED WHOLLY WITHIN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT
REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS WHICH WOULD RESULT IN THE APPLICATION OF THE
SUBSTANTIVE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. PURCHASER AND SELLERS FURTHER AGREE THAT THE
BANKRUPTCY COURT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OVER ALL DISPUTES AND OTHER MATTERS

50 (52)

RELATING TO (A) THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SELLER
DOCUMENT OR PURCHASER DOCUMENT; AND/OR (B) THE PURCHASED ASSETS AND/OR THE ASSUMED
LIABILITIES AND THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO AND AGREE NOT TO CONTEST SUCH EXCLUSIVE
JURISDICTION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT REFUSES TO ACCEPT
JURISDICTION OVER ANY SUCH DISPUTE, THEN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF
NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH DISPUTE AND PURCHASER AND SELLERS HEREBY
EACH CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURT IN ANY SUCH CASE. THE PARTIES HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION
WHICH THEY MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH DISPUTE BROUGHT
IN SUCH COURT OR ANY DEFENSE OF INCONVENIENT FORUM FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH DISPUTE.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE MAY BE ENFORCED IN
OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN AN OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. EACH
PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING SERVED BY ANY PARTY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BY DELIVERY OF A COPY THEREOF IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 13.6.
EACH PARTY WAIVES AN RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, MATTER OR PROCEEDING
REGARDING OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER SELLER DOCUMENT OR PURCHASER
DOCUMENT.

13.6. Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed given (i) when delivered personally by hand (with written confirmation
of receipt), (ii) on the day when sent when sent by facsimile (with written confirmation of
transmission) if so sent and confirmed prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on any Business Day
or, if after 5:00 p.m., on the next Business Day or (iii) one Business Day following the day sent by
overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), in each case at the following addresses and
facsimile numbers (or to such other address or facsimile number as a part may have specified by
notice given to the other part pursuant to this provision):

13.7. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or
incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this
Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to
any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable
of being enforced, this Agreement shall be modified so as to effect the original economic position of
the Parties as closely as possible in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated
as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

13.8. Binding Effect: Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this
Agreement shall create or be deemed to create any third party beneficiary rights in any Person or
entity not a Party to this Agreement except as provided below (including without limitation any
employee or contractor of any Seller). No assignment of this Agreement or of any rights or
obligations hereunder may be made by Sellers (by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior
written consent of Purchaser and any attempted assignment without the required consent shall be
void.

13.9. Non-Recourse. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator,
member, partner or equityholder (other than Sellers) of any Seller shall have any Liability for any
obligations or Liabilities of Sellers under this Agreement or the Seller Documents or for any claim or

13.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken
together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement.

13.11. Post-Closing Cooperation. In case at any time after the Closing any further action is
necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, each Seller will take such further
action (including the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents) as Purchaser
may request, all at the sole cost and expense of the requesting part. Without limiting the foregoing,
if required in order for Sellers to fully pursue any Action retained by Sellers that relates to rights

52 (54)

under Assumed Contracts, or if pursuit of that Action requires information pertaining to Assumed
Contracts, Purchaser will take such actions as may be necessary and reasonably practicable in order
to facilitate Sellers' dispute resolution strategy and the implementation thereof (including, as
appropriate, limited assignments of Contract rights, third-part beneficiary status, and/or joining in
Sellers' Actions as a nominal part for that sole purpose), and Purchaser will otherwise reasonably
cooperate with Sellers to provide information or other assistance in support of Sellers' Actions;
provided that Purchaser will not be required to incur expenses or liabilities, and Purchaser's
compliance herewith will be reasonably tailored in order that Purchaser's obligations will not be
unreasonably burdensome on employees or representatives of Purchaser and will not be in breach of
Assumed Contracts as result of its compliance with this Section 13 .11. In addition, without limiting
the foregoing, if required in order for Purchaser to fully pursue any Action acquired by Purchaser that
relates to rights under any agreements or assets or rights held by Sellers, or if pursuit of an Action
requires information pertaining to such agreements, assets or rights, Sellers will take such actions as
may be necessary and reasonably practicable in order to facilitate Purchaser's dispute resolution
strategy and the implementation thereof (including, as appropriate, limited assignments of contract
rights, third-part beneficiary status, and/or joining in Purchaser's Actions as a nominal part for that
sole purpose), and Sellers will otherwise reasonably cooperate with Purchaser to provide information
or other assistance in support of Purchaser's Actions; provided that Sellers will not be required to
incur expenses or liabilities, and Sellers' compliance herewith will be reasonably tailored in order
that Sellers' obligations will not be unreasonably burdensome on employees or representatives of
Sellers and will not be in breach of the applicable contracts, rights or agreements as result of
its compliance with this Section. In addition, the Parties will act reasonably and communicate with
each other and their respective counsel and advisors, and discuss strategy, tactics and goals under a
joint prosecution or confidentiality agreement as to be approved prior to Closing, and the Parties will
provide status reports and respond to inquires from time to time in furtherance of their mutual
cooperation and assurance covenants herein.

13.12. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Parties
and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision
hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.

13.13. Limitation on Damages. No Party nor any of its respective Affiliates, officers,
directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns shall be liable to any other Party
or its respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and
assigns, whether in contract, tort, negligence, indemnity, strict liability or otherwise, for any punitive,
special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages in connection with or arising out of or relating
to the performance, non-performance or breach of this Agreement or any other Seller Document or
Purchaser Document or any obligations arising hereunder or thereunder.

13.14. Risk of Loss.

(a) Sellers will bear all risk of loss occurring to or upon any portion of the
Purchased Assets prior to the Closing, other than any Losses caused by acts of gross negligence of
Purchaser or any of its representatives or agents, which Losses shall be the responsibility of
Purchaser upon Closing.

(b) If, prior to Closing, all or any material portion of the Purchased Assets is
taken by eminent domain or is the subject of a pending, or to Sellers' Knowledge, contemplated
taking which has not been consummated, or if all or a material portion of the Purchased Assets is

53 (55)

damaged or destroyed by earthquake, fire or other casualty, Sellers shall notify Purchaser promptly in
writing of such fact. If such taking, contemplated taking, damage or destruction would have a
Material Adverse Effect, Sellers shall have the option, if exercised by prompt notice to Purchaser, to
restore, repair or replace the taken or damaged Purchased Assets prior to the Closing. Upon any
taking, contemplated taking, damage or destruction of less than a material portion of the Purchased
Assets, Purchaser and Sellers shall negotiate in good faith to settle the Losses resulting from such
taking, damage or destruction by making a fair and equitable adjustment to the Purchase Price and,
subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, proceed with the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing. If Sellers elect to restore, repair or replace
the Purchased Assets, which election shall be made by notice to Purchaser within shirt (30) days
following the occurrence of the taking or casualty, the completion of the restoration, repair or
replacement shall be a condition to the Closing pursuant to Section 10.1 and the Closing Date shall
automatically be postponed at the election of Sellers for the amount of time reasonably necessary to
complete such restoration, repair or replacement (not to exceed 180 days after receipt by Purchaser of
such notice without Purchaser's consent). In the event that Sellers elect not to restore, repair or
replace such damaged Purchased Assets, or in the event that Sellers, having elected to restore, repair
or replace such damaged Purchased Assets, fails to complete the repair, replacement or restoration
within such 180-day period, then the Parties shall negotiate in good faith an equitable adjustment to
the Purchase Price to reflect to impact of the casualty or taking, as mitigated by any restoration,
repair or replacement work actually completed by Sellers, on the Purchased Assets being sold to
Purchaser, and shall, subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement, proceed with the
consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing. In the event that the
Parties fail to reach agreement on an equitable adjustment to the Purchase Price within thirty (30)
days, then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to any Seller, within fiibiblio.org
(15) days immediately following the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period, to either (i) proceed
with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at Closing, with a
reduction in the Purchase Price consistent with Sellers' last offer communicated to Purchaser, in
which event Sellers shall assign over and deliver to Purchaser at Closing all condemnation or
insurance proceeds which Sellers have received or to which Sellers are entitled by virtue of such
casualty or taking or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate
and neither Party shall thereafter have any obligation or Liability to the other by reason of such
termination except pursuant to Section 4.6. If Purchaser shall fail to make such election within the
prescribed fiibiblio.org (15)-day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have made an election to proceed
with the Closing.

13.15. Acknowledgment. Purchaser acknowledges the existence of the Novell Exception
as defined herein. Purchaser has undertaken preliminary independent due diligence with respect
thereto and has been provided with underlying facts and circumstances. Sellers advise and
Purchasers acknowledge that the Novell Exception qualifies and affects various representations
and warranties of the Sellers.
